Overview of transparency in the construction sector Prior to CoST, transparency in the Ethiopian construction sector was limited to the disclosure of information on tenders and contract awards as required under the Ethiopian Federal Government Procurement and Property Administration Proclamation 2009. This information is required to be disclosed on the Public Procurement and Property Administration Agency web-site. The Ethiopian Multi-Stakeholder Group persuaded their Government to revise the country public procurement regulations to include the majority of the CoST disclosure requirements in a procurement proclamation and directives. This provides the MSG with a mandate to collaborate with the participating procuring entities. A report has been published that assess the requirements for mainstreaming proactive information disclosure by procuring entities in Ethiopia. This includes collating project and contract information from the following 9 construction projects. Adirement to Dansha Via Dejena Road Project Most recently, an independent consultant has been deployed to further scrutinise a number of additional project items using the recently revised CoST disclosure standards. These standards are available online on the Federal Public Procurement and Property Administration Agency – FPPPAA website. In addition to its work on coordinating the independent scrutiny of public procurement, CoST Ethiopia is also preparing a 5-Year Strategic Plan. Furthermore, it has trained a number of project engineers (PEs) on the basics of CoST and how to disclose information on the FPPPAA website. Recently, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Disclosure has been given to 8 of the trained PEs for comments. Once their comments are received, the final MoU will be signed and disclosure will begin. CoST Ethiopia has enjoyed strong and effective political support from its Champion, H.E. Ali Sulaiman, Commissioner, Federal Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission. It is overseen by CoST Ethiopia’s Multi-Stakeholder Group Executive Committee which comprises representatives from: Interim Governance Rules of CoST - Ethiopia Communication Protocol of CoST - Ethiopia Message from the Chairperson Message from the Champion MSG Members Pictures Haileyesus Meseret Administrative Assistant, Multi-Stakeholder Group (MSG) E-mail: This email address is being protected from spambots.
